Why are ketchup packets so small?
I mean, really. Why? One ketchup packet handles two french fries, maybe three. If I'm at McDonald's I have to grab a dozen packets to cover a large order of fries, and it makes me feel like a heel to do it.

And it's not even efficient. There's so little ketchup in each packet that 10 percent ends up on the packet where I tore it open due to surface tension or non-Newtonian flow or some other scientific principle. Who designed these things?

Is the problem me? Do I use too much ketchup? Or is the problem a society that makes me a villain for using ketchup?

It's weird but, while I don't care much for ketchup, I eat a ton of it on fries. I don't know how many packs I would use on a typical fast food order of fries but it was a lot.Also, I don't like ketchup on hash browns or tater tots. I usually eat hash browns with only salt on them and I eat tater tots with 1000 Island dressing.

The only other thing I eat ketchup with is those little frozen potato cubes (I think they're called O'Brien potatoes or Southern-style hash browns, depending where you live) that I cook 'til crisp in an air fryer. But to me, those are tiny fries so they seem right with ketchup.

I wish they kept the ketchup packets refrigerated. Cold ketchup is a welcome compliment to hot salty fries.

Because the amount of fries they serve you now is obnoxiously big, compared to years past.

I'm a huge ketchup fan, mostly on potatoes, meatloaf, and burgers. We are a Heinz family, but we still call it "Mahomes Sauce."

I don't usually get fries at McDonald's because of the tiny ketchup package issue and I am almost always driving if I'm eating McDonald's. A pack is good for maybe 5 fries.

Wendy's used to have those self-fill tiny cups of ketchup when you ate in. I would use at least 6 of those for a medium fry. Fast food restaurants are uniformly stingy in their ketchup distribution policies. Stingy people have cold hearts.

I have to open those tiny ketchup packets with my teeth after some teenager has dug their grubby hand in the packet bin a dozen times. Not only do fast food restaurants have a cold heart, but they endanger public health.

Free the Mahomes Sauce!

I have always been a BBQ sauce to dip a fry but Freddy's fry sauce has grown on me. Fresh cut fries require nothing for me but salt.

My wife left the rice farm and took a job sewing in a sweatshop in Manila. When payday came around on a Friday she and the girls would splurge on a small fry at the new Mcdonalds that had just arrived there. Nothing else really sold well at first but french fries. So they add chicken wings to the menu to compete with Jollibee and Crackado took off in the PI.

This. Newer packets are NOT small. Culver's and Caine's have them here.
